Job Description
Bring your curiosity. Build your capability. Help shape the cities of tomorrow.
At Mirvac, we’re proud of our 50‑year legacy — but we’re even more excited about what’s next. We reimagine urban life by creating places where people and communities thrive, and we do it by putting people first, acting with integrity and working together.
We’re looking for a Project Design Manager to join our team and help shape the delivery of one of our exciting residential projects at Green Square.
This is a key opportunity for an experienced design leader who thrives in complex project environments and is passionate about design excellence, collaboration and delivering high-quality outcomes.
The opportunity
As Project Design Manager, you will lead and coordinate the design process across all disciplines to optimise project outcomes, maximise value and minimise risk. Working closely with Development, Construction and consultant teams, you will play a central role in driving design excellence from concept through to delivery.
You’ll support the successful delivery of the Green Square project, helping to ensure design intent, buildability, programme, cost and quality are all aligned.
What you’ll do
In this role, you will:
Lead the design process across all project stages, from briefing and design development through to documentation, construction and project finalisation
Manage and coordinate external consultants and design teams to deliver high-quality, compliant and buildable design outcomes
Drive collaboration across internal stakeholders including Development, Construction, Cost Planning, HSE and Digital teams
Facilitate design meetings, reviews and decision-making to keep the project moving forward efficiently
Oversee design programme, consultant performance and design-related risk, budget and reporting
Identify opportunities for innovation, value optimisation and continuous improvement
Champion design excellence while balancing commercial, programme and delivery requirements
Support strong safety-in-design, sustainability and digital engineering outcomes throughout the project lifecycle
What you bring
You will be a confident and capable design management professional with experience working across complex projects and multiple disciplines. You’ll bring a strong understanding of the full design process, along with the ability to build trusted relationships and influence outcomes across a broad stakeholder group.
We’re looking for someone with:
Proven experience managing multidisciplinary design processes across all project stages
Experience in a design management or similar leadership role within property, development or construction
Strong knowledge of design documentation, consultant coordination, programme and cost management
The ability to balance design quality with commercial and delivery outcomes
Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication and facilitation skills
A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with a strong eye for risk, detail and opportunity
Relevant tertiary qualifications in architecture, design, engineering, construction or a related discipline
Why join Mirvac?
At Mirvac, we’re proud of our people-first culture and our commitment to creating better, more sustainable places. We care deeply about how we work and the legacy we leave behind.
When you join us, you’ll be part of a team that values:
People first – we support our people to grow and do their best work
Quality and legacy – we create places that stand the test of time
Collaboration – we work as one team with our partners and stakeholders
Curiosity and bold thinking – we ask what’s possible and pursue better ways of working
Doing the right thing – we act with integrity, accountability and care
